Welcome to the Aridus Guild Boss Guide for Throne & Liberty. In this guide we will explain all of the mechanics for the Aridus boss in TL, along with the correct strategy for defeating the boss.

Aridus is a Level 50 guild boss. He can be fought by either finding him in the open world, or via your guild hall (if your guild is level 17). In the open world, Aridus is located on the fifth floor of the Syleus Abyss open world dungeon.

We will now explain how the Aridus boss fight works, what the mechanics are and how you can defeat this boss.

Aridus Guild Boss Mechanics

In this section we will explain the mechanics for the Aridus Guild Boss in Throne & Liberty, and provide a guide for how to defeat Aridus.

Aridus has the following mechanics:

  • Wasps – Aridus will summon wasps to follow and attack three random players in the group. The chosen players are easily identified by a green orb floating above them. The wasps will deal damage if they get too close, so you should kite them around for the time being. You will need to utilize the wasps later in the fight.
  • Gaseous Cleave – Aridus will send forth a conal cleave of dark green gas that deals very high damage to anyone caught within. Luckily the cone is quite narrow, so you can quickly side-step this attack if it is aimed in your direction.
  • Gas Donut – The outermost portion of the arena is covered in blue-green gas, which will damage and kill anyone who lingers there. The group will need to go to the middle of the room for the duration of this mechanic to stay safe.
  • Sleeping Spell – This is the most complicated part of the fight, and can confuse players to begin with. However, it’s not too difficult once you know how it works. It works as below:
    • Aridus will put the entire group to sleep. Players need to wake up in time in order to survive this phase of the fight.
    • The three players with the wasps will be woken up by the damage from the wasps.
    • These players then need to lead the wasps so that they cross over their friends and deal damage to them – this is how you wake up the rest of the players.

Once you have passed the sleep mechanic, the Aridus boss fight is a rinse and repeat until the finish.

Aridus Boss Tips

This is a reasonably simple boss fight – there aren’t too many mechanics to deal with. The main important qualities for players in this fight are spatial awareness and being able to DPS while moving (kiting the wasps).

Players should be especially careful during the Gas Donut phase, as there is much less room to kite the wasps. One way to do it is to have three players hug the boss as close as possible, while the three players with the wasps equally disperse themselves around the outer edge of the donut and gradually kite their wasps around in the same direction, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This ensures that everyone knows where they are going and prevents the wasp AOE from being dragged across players who don’t need to be dealing with it.
